How Can I Help?

 

Donate your time & talents! 

Do you have special interests or talents that you are willing to share? Volunteer opportunities are available at all of our locations! We will work with you to find an opportunity that is a good fit for you and the people we serve—send us a message!

Examples:

  • Got craft skills?  Come work one-on-one or in small groups teaching and assisting with projects, or show our staff your craft and help us learn new things!
  • Offer technical assistance in your field of knowledge – help someone bait a hook or reel in a big catch!
  • Got game? Playing cards or games with participants!
  • Help us get outdoors – go for walks/push wheelchairs!
  • Do you like to talk or tell stories?  Are you a good listener?
  • Help us plan parties and events!
